Drive continuous improvement initiatives by integrating lessons learned into design standards, tender documents (TUM, Room Books, layouts), and supplier requirements, ensuring future projects benefit from enhanced efficiency, quality, and risk mitigation.
SME
Act as the subject matter specialist for electrical systems within BSI design activities, defining and coordinating discipline-specific technical requirements, concepts, and solutions across process equipment, utilities, and facility infrastructure. Ensure that electrical designs meet project requirements for power distribution, system reliability, redundancy, grounding and bonding, load management, safety, and integration with process equipment and building systems.
